Despite the unusual times we find ourselves in, there is still trash collecting in our river. We hope that as many folks as possible can help us clean up the French Broad, but know that we can't all be on the river together. We are offering a limited capacity in person clean up as well as a virtual clean up with the Wedge on August 1st. There are prizes from ENO for the most interesting finds for both virtual and in-person participants!
Virtual Hendersonville Green Drinks welcomes Tony Dunn, a former USFS Fire Behavior Analyst and a Camp Fire survivor. On November 8, 2018, a wildfire swept through the mountain town of Paradise, CA. It was the most destructive fire in California history and caused the permanent dislocation of nearly 50,000 people, most of them elderly and financially disadvantaged. Tony Dunn outlines how climate change contributed to the fire and how climate-driven disasters like the Camp Fire disproportionately impact vulnerable communities and their ability to recover.
